Iran's Zarif slams Trump's aid cut threats over Jerusalem al-Quds vote



Press TV- Iran says that US President Donald Trump's threats to cut aid to countries that vote against his move on Jerusalem al-Quds at the UN General Assembly shows his "contempt for democracy."

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif made the remarks in a tweet late on Wednesday.
"Trump regime exposes contempt for democracy through its threats against those who dare resist its thuggish demands at the UN," he said.
